Everett O from Broussard, Louisiana does not recommend this vacation rental.

This year we stayed at Gulf Dunes! It was one of the condos that one of the girls at the office sent in a email as a discounted condo for having been staying at their properties for the last 10 plus years. Well the discounted $100.00 did not compare to
the space in the condo. it was small and it was a challenge with disabled daughter. I will say that the managers on site were exceptional as the two girls helped in everyway they could. Being a disabled veteran parking for me and my disabled daughter was very
good, they always had a spot available whenever we returned from dinner or just riding around sight seeing. I hope they would provide better discounts for long time members and vets.

Manager Responded on 7/30/2018

Brooks and Shorey Resorts appreciates your return visit to Okaloosa Island however our records indicate you've just been staying with US for a few years...this is your 3rd stay to be exact, and we did provide that discount for simply being a return guest of ours!! We see on our records you've stayed in comparable units at two different properties and this condo, Gulf Dunes 505, is exactly the same setup as the two previous condos you rented! This is the average setup of a one bedroom condo on Okaloosa Island...if you are needing more SPACE, we have great condos that have space and we'd love to get you in one of these so you and your family can find comfort on our lovely Gulf Coast...PLEASE PLEASE call us and let us know your concerns/issues and please let us get you in something with more room to it!!! We hope to have you back!!

We loved it from the moment we walked through the door. Clean and comfortable. It was great having a washer and dryer in the unit. The view was spectacular and everyone was so nice. Plenty of cabinets filled with useful kitchen items, but it could use
an extra empty cabinet for grocerys, especially if you're staying more than a couple of days. The best part was visiting our son and daughter-in-law stationed at Hurlburt Field a few minutes down the road.

Nice, clean unit. We were called when our unit was available, which was earlier than expected. Living room has new couches and new tv. Kitchen has plenty of dishes. Bedroom and bathrooms could use a bit of updating/redecorating (carpet, nightstands, etc...)
but the beds and pillows were comfortable and has new quilts. Easy access to beach. We could see the fireworks on the pier from our balcony - which had nice furniture on it. We really liked the free beach chairs. And although we didn't do it, you can rent
kayaks, paddle board, and other stuff for very reasonable prices on the beach. We would stay here again!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here very much! The view was the primary seller when we booked and it did not disappoint. I could sit and look at that water 24/7. The property is as described except for the balcony furniture. It has been upgraded to
Adirondack style chairs. Everything was clean and in working order...wish the sofa/love seat had been a little more comfortable. Washer and dryer in condo is a big plus...and both worked well. Internet worked great! I hate when a property advertises high speed
internet and it only works for one minute on Wednesday nights in the bedroom while holding iPad next to window! Not here. Pool area was nice and well kept. We could walk to a couple of great restaurants, but driving into Destin was easy. (We were there week
before Memorial weekend....still considered off season. I’m sure traffic and crowds pick up later). Great service from Brooks and Shorey. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. The only thing I found wanting was a full length mirror. Lol!

There were just a few things that kept this condo from being absolutely perfect. 1. The couch needs to be replaced asap! 2. The carpet in the master bedroom needs to be replaced. 3. I would have liked a full length mirror. Everything else was 100% perfect.
No noise, perfect view, great a/c, etc. etc.

We appreciate your honest feedback from your stay in 505 Gulf Dunes! We have the carpet in the master on the schedule for STEAM CLEANING next week!! Possible replacement will be upon further communication with the condo owner. Our general manager will inspect the sleeper sofa in this unit, it is relatively new but we'll make sure everything is still functional and up to standards. Gulf Dunes is a peaceful and relaxing property on Okaloosa, but it's also convenient on top of all that! You cannot beat the views we have on our Emerald Coast...we have the most beautiful beach anywhere!! Thank you so much for coming..we can't wait to have you back!!

located in walkable vicinity of the boardwalk, but far enough away to be very quiet and peaceful. The condo was beautifully decorated and fully stocked. When we had an issue with the TV the mainenance team quickly addressed it. The property was clean and quiet.
We greatly appreciated that the beach was only steps away from the condo. The beach chair service is what made our trip extra relaxing as we were traveling with an infant. We are looking forward to returning next year!

Stayed at this property many times and love it! Not so happy with this particular condo. The bed was very uncomfortable and there is only a lock on the door knob that requires an actual "key". All other units have dead bolts with key pads. Other than that
had a great stay but will be sure to avoid this unit in the future.

Manager Responded on 5/24/2014

We are currently in the process of changing our locks to keyless entry and will be doing so for the next few months, we appreciate your feedback.

Jay B from Darber, OK recommends this vacation rental

Room was nice and we had plenty room for a family of 4. The sand at the beach is by far the best we have ever seen. The only bad thing about the trip was the poor visibility of the water, maybe it was because we went in late July, but the seaweed was terrible
in the ocean, not enjoyable at all. We had a snorkeling trip scheduled thru Destin Snorkel but they actually called us to let us know we would not enjoy the cruise because of poor water visibility. If we never go back it wont be because of the Gulf Dunes Resort
it will be because of the Gulf of Mexico.

Manager Responded on 9/3/2013

We are glad that you liked this unit and enjoyed staying there, normally our waters are usually the most beautiful turquoise color, unfortunately this year we had a lot of rain that churned up the Gulf and brought in the seaweed, we hope you give it another chance.

I thought the vacation rental was great! We loved the simple decorations. It was nice and clean and in good condition. The view from the balcony was beautiful. The only probably we had was getting the balcony door to open and close, it was quite heavy
and would get stuck. Other than that we always love staying with Brooke and Shorey Resorts! We love the Gulf Dunes as well!

that returning guests could get a discount. The nice lady at the front desk told us and we will get it next time!

Arrived the day after Christmas. The condo was very nice and clean. Everything was provided in the kitchen that we needed. The grounds were clean and nice. The weather was no warmer than the low 50s while we were there. Disappointed with that though nothing
that could be done. There wasn't much to do because of that. Would have liked some sort of tour available with the rental like what is offered during the warmer months that is weather friendly. Loved that it was right on the beach and could listen to the waves
if we left our door open but wasn't warm enough for that much. I would recommend it but would never go in the winter time ever again.

All in all this is a very nice place to stay. We enjoyed the view, and complimentary beach service very much. The condo was clean. The kitchen was well stocked and found we had everything we needed where as in the past at other condos we did have to purchase
a couple things. We did have an issue with the wifi and was never really helped but it cleared up on its own on the third day. I believe they should install a night lock or dead bolt of some sort I did not like not having a secure feeling during the stay.
Also they need to have a in room safe.

appeared it may have been broken into at some point. There was also a broken lamp in the living room. These are all jsut minor details in the room. The service was excellent and view was amazing. This is the third time we have stayed with Brooks and Shorey,
they were professional as always. We will stay with them again, just probably in a different facility.

Overall, the property and condo was very nice. The condo had everything you would need for a stay there and more. Next time, we may consider another condo, just for the ability to spread out on the beach a bit more. We felt a little hindered with the lifeguard
tower on one side and then a endless row of umbrellas in front of the condo. Gulf Dunes has a great view, 2 nice pools and our condo was clean, nicely decorated, and uncluttered.

We were very happy with the location. The room was not as clean as they try to say there cleaning is. When we got there they did not allow early check in, When we finally got to our room the bedroom TV was broke, notified them right them. They did not
fix it until 6 days later. Which was the night before we were leaving. Was not very happy with the fact they couldnt get to it any sooner. The view is great and the room is good. They tell you in there check in letter not to put the air under 75 which i didnt
like. Im on vacation I want to be comfortable. But I might stay there again i am not sure. But other than those issues it was great

Very Nice - would rent there again.

The absolutely only complain I would have is that the property pools are entirely too small. As an avid pool person, I was very disappointed with that. Additionally, children were using the pools a great deal of the time without parental supervision and
throwing objects from one side of the pool to the other. It was impossible to enjoy being in the pool with that going on. I was hit in the neck by a ball they were using one time and it was not pleasant at all. Spending time in the pool is usually a big part
of my vacation and it was just not worth it. Next time, I will be sure to ask about pools specifically. Other than that, we had a nice time. The property management was very nice to us as well.
